Imagine a single giant database of boat projects for all brands, organized by category, boat type or budget. Share your projects, find inspiration for a new upgrade, or learn the basics or low budget solutions from projects before you. We can all share and learn from each other in one place.

No project is too plain, cheap or lame to post... all will be helpful to someone. Let's build this!!!!

So the original was discontinued right? The new one doesn't have a return line and you bought the "generic" version, instead of Indmar for almost $400 cheaper? Nice. I think this trick applies to more boats than you think.

Yes the original pump was discontinued and they sell a conversion. The conversion was still being manufactured when I replaced mine. I would have been down last summer for 3+weeks so I researched the pumps specifics. The p5000 was same psi and flow, from information I could find, and I figured as long as the pressure regulator could dump back to tank I'd be ok.

So the return line goes to the pump and not the tank? For some reason I thought it dumped back into the tank...good to know this works. I've been keeping an eye on fuel pumps since it seems like it happens all the time to boats of this age.
